Lazer's Cappuccino turns your bike helmet into a lock
By Ben Coxworth September 4, 2014
The Lazer Cappuccino locks the quick release buckle of a helmet strap
It's not uncommon for recreational cyclists to stop at a sidewalk cafe after a long ride, and sit outside near their bike while sipping their drink. While such situations don't necessarily call for a high-security lock, it still helps to have something that keeps thieves from just grabbing the bike and running with it. That's precisely what the Lazer Cappuccino helmet lock is intended to do.
To use the device, you run your helmet strap around your bike's frame and an adjacent object such as a railing, then snap the two ends of the strap's quick-release buckle into the Cappuccino. You then spin the combination dials around and it's locked, keeping the helmet strap buckle from being opened by anyone who doesn't know the combo.
There's no official word on pricing, although a quick Googling indicates an average retail...
Could someone just cut through your helmet strap? Yep. Could they pick the lock? Probably. Again, it's more just a means of letting opportunistic would-be thieves know that stealing the bike – whose owner is just a few feet away – will require some unwanted time and effort.
Lazer first introduced the Cappuccino about a year ago, although the company has recently launched a new promotional campaign. There's no official word on pricing, although a quick Googling indicates an average retail price of about US$20.

The Cappuccinolock is a revolutionary way to lock your helmet and your bike for a brief moment using nothing but your helmet straps. It is an easy to use, portable system that turns your helmet into a locking system. Insert one part of the buckle into the lock and connect the other part on to the other side of the lock, twist the numbers to ensure the lock can't open and relax while you have your coffee.
